Bones quotes

Brennan

Booth, do you think I'm being small-minded about Cam getting the award and not me?

Booth

[sighs] Huh. Yes.

Brennan

What?

Booth

You might want another answer but I can't give that to you.

Brennan

But I'm clearly the best scientist.

Booth

And are you the worst scientist because Cam's getting the award?

Brennan

Of course not.

Booth

See? Yeah, you're just being petty because you want to win.

Brennan

[protests] I thought you would take my side.

Booth

I am on your side, ok? I'm on your better side. [smirks] [Brennan frowns and breaks into a smile at Booth's smile.] Much better side.

Brennan

There's a strong connection between chess and the logic and thought needed to plan and execute a murder.

Sweets

Like a lot of brilliant people, Magnuson had a huge ego. Left little room for others.

Booth

Yeah, murder...such an inconvenience, right?

Brennan

Booth is right. It is like the queen sacrifice Marshall used against Levitsky in 1912.

Booth

What???

Sweets

He wouldn't see that coming. [looks at Brennan] How'd you know about that?

Brennan

I play too, not like you, of course. I've been trying to teach Booth but he keeps referring to the knights as "horsies". [Booth covers his face with his palm in frustration]

Booth

That's great, can we just move this along. Ok, chess is a one-on-one game, but in a real war, you need a platoon and that's what we are right now, ok? So let's move out!

Brennan

We have a duty to show the scientific community that the Jeffersonian is an institution where pulchritude is as abundant as brilliance.

Brennan

[to Booth] We're married now. Sharing everything is part of that, isn't it?

Angela

So I was online looking at dream houses, which got me thinking about adding an extra room...

Hodgins

...and you want a studio––

Angela

Which could double as a bug room

Hodgins

Oh...phft. Listen, I promise I will do it. As soon as I find a suitable bank to rob.

Angela

You know, we'd make a pretty good team. You could drive the getaway car.

Fisher

I was watching the news and wondering if it even worth getting dressed.

Hodgins

[smirks] Oh we've missed you, Fisher.

Booth

Look, if you can't bury a body deep enough you cover it in lye so the animals don't dig it up. It's classic Al Capone.

Sweets

You think it was a mob hit?

Booth

Oh... [rubs face tiredly] What, a girl in her twenties?

Sweets

It's sexist! Nowadays a girl in her twenties could be as much a mobster as a guy.

Booth

[deadpan] Wonderful in how far we've come.

Booth

Take the files. Go shrink them. Shrink it down.

Sweets

I don't "shrink" files. I read them.

Booth

Just shrink it down.

Fisher

[to Hodgins] Sometimes the looney bin is the right place to be, and I was grateful for it. [...] Sometimes people look at you in there like you’d done something wrong rather than just having a disease.

Fisher

[realizing he overlooked a discrepancy] Well, I feel inadequate.

Brennan

You work with me, Mr. Fisher. I'd have thought you'd be used to that by now.

Booth

All I'm saying is, this is your money from your hard work. Not mine.

Brennan

Men are so foolish when it comes to money. It's why we have so many wars. You like your loot covered in blood and sweat. It's the only way you can do it.

Booth

[sarcastically] Ok, great, so I'm Attilla the Hun now?

[notices a bag floating in the lake] What is that?

That is probably a bag of morality.
